I was wishing you success. Legolas Send a noteboard - 20/09/2013 06:09:20 PM

View original postYeah, my sister said there's tons of Meetup groups for people who want to learn Spanish, so once I'm a little conversational, I'll totally do it.

Does she speak Spanish?

And even just walking around in New York would be good practice - there's signs in Spanish, you overhear people speaking Spanish all the time, and so on.

View original postI am a very visual learner. I learned English by reading (Tolkien - not a book for a beginner!)

Definitely not. That reminds me of my mother who read Gone with the Wind as her second ever English book... which is not as hard perhaps as Lord of the Rings, excepting those dialects, but impressively long all the same.
View original postWhat's interesting is how stimulating it is to learn something. I feel like my brain is more awake and nimble even at work things.

Language learning is supposed to do that, yeah.

You'll probably be fluent in about 6 months at most. It's easy. Tom - 18/09/2013 06:58:49 PM 1026 Views

You will need to learn the subjunctive. Very much so. Tom - 20/09/2013 03:43:53 PM 1011 Views

Ah, but a question isn't a statement of uncertainty. It's a request for information. Tom - 23/09/2013 03:59:00 PM 938 Views
Is Duolingo one of the apps you have downloaded? The Shrike - 19/09/2013 05:23:35 PM 935 Views
It is quite good in some ways. Legolas - 19/09/2013 06:54:44 PM 1033 Views
Italian is one of those languages I've never wanted to learn. The Shrike - 20/09/2013 12:33:49 PM 1076 Views
There isn't enough Renaissance-era literature that you want to read? Tom - 20/09/2013 03:53:17 PM 980 Views
Nope. Not too interested in the literature of the area. Not enough to learn the language The Shrike - 20/09/2013 04:17:46 PM 947 Views
A quick question. Stephen - 20/09/2013 05:48:18 PM 959 Views
I think that is a very subjective question. Tom - 20/09/2013 06:36:50 PM 923 Views
You would like Leopardi's thoughts on the two languages found within his Zibaldone Larry - 21/09/2013 09:11:15 AM 995 Views
I will have to look in my copy of the Zibaldone on that one. Tom - 22/09/2013 04:26:11 AM 948 Views
I want to say it's in the late 3000s, early 4000s, but I'm uncertain Larry - 22/09/2013 07:53:07 AM 903 Views
Yeah, I'm not finding it exactly Tom - 26/09/2013 02:22:38 PM 993 Views
Interesting points. Stephen - 22/09/2013 12:20:39 AM 940 Views
It's not too high on my priority list either, like I said. Legolas - 20/09/2013 06:17:24 PM 914 Views
It is... Aeryn - 20/09/2013 03:12:11 PM 1028 Views

Bolivia is pretty amazing and has a good exchange rate, though you'll need a visa. *NM* Zalis - 25/09/2013 04:37:18 PM 806 Views
